Add a punch of color and instant drama to your balcony. Self-watering planters are a convenient place to grow flowers, herbs and greens, right on your balcony railing. Simply set the planters right over the railing — no mounting hardware, no holes to drill. Self-watering pots minimize maintenance chores and provide plants with the consistent supply of moisture they need to thrive.

Never got to use it. I got the sweet red ones. They looked great and all but the railing set was very narrow. I honestly dont think it would fit most railings. I cant really say much about the use or self watering aspect since I did not get to use it.

This planter is colorful and definitely brightens up my deck. Also it is functional but the water gauge stopped working the first season that I had it so I just water until it starts draining in order to fill the reservoirs. I have two and this happened to both.

I am using the planter on the railing outside my side door. It provides the right amount of water to my herb garden. The self-watering feature keeps the herbs from drying out if I'm away for a day or two.

I ordered these for a client who owns a restaurant. He has narrow metal railings, so the design and color (blue) work great for his patio dinning area. I took out the self watering stuff, as you need as much space for the roots as possible and the self watering system is a bit of a joke. The box itself is fairly narrow. I am hoping it does not fade too much in our hot western colorado sun.

Used as box attached to balcony railings - while lots of fun being bright red, it is difficult to pair with plants. Certainly not elegant!Also, floods under conditions of heavy rain.Quite disappointed

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
